As far as I understand the patch is complete, the problem is outside the 
kernel, it is in the libcore provided by rust or the rust compiler.

That libcore seems to call __udivdi3() and __umoddi3() which are not 
provided by the kernel. Instead if should call the functions do_div() 
and friends provided by include/asm-generic/div64.h, or provide 
__udivdi3() and __umoddi3() on its own.
